The Vyzex Editor, is only an editor. It allows you to use it's interface to adjust settings on the Pocket Pod. There is no audio that is transferred over the USB cable.

The Pocket Pod is more meant for practice I think. You can record, but you would have to take a 1/8 cable, plug it into the Pocket Pod's headphone jack, and plug the other end of the cable into your computer's mic in jack, or line in jack. For screwing around at home, this would work, but not be as ideal as the other Pod products.
